Some time ago at my workplace...someone gave me a bouquet of dried lavender.
How rich was the fragrance! Everyone who walked through our department commented on the beautiful perfume of these dried...not so attractive stems. I rubbed some of the pods on my wrists. People stopped me in the hallways to know what I was wearing and where they could buy it!
"Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place."
2 Corinthians 2:14
Oh my! I had to stop and think. Is the fragrance of my life as appealing? Do I cause heads to turn, not because of outward beauty (LOL...I'm looking more like the dried up lavender every day!)...but because I give the Holy Spirit full permission to pour through me to bring others delight? Because of what they see and sense about me, will those who don't know Jesus yet, want to know where they can find Him?
Hmmmm...this is my new prayer...
I want to wear the perfume named "The Triumph of His love in Me...is For You, Too!"
(If this encouraged your heart...possibly...would you consider sharing it on your Facebook Page? You should be able to on a link on your screen! Blessings!)
